Fairborn man awarded $45M for wrongful conviction after 20 years in prison

When he was 24 years old, he was accused of raping three women, a crime he says he never had anything to do with. Today, he was declared a wrongfully imprisoned person by the state of Ohio.

The evidence at trial showed that the detective created an unfair lineup of potential suspects, claimed a witness had made an identification when they had not, destroyed evidence showing Gillispie was out of town camping in Kentucky when two of the crimes occurred and altered witness’s audio recordings.

Gillispie was released in 2011 thanks to the Ohio Innocence Project.

Now think the people payed for all the man hours getting him locked up, paying for him being locked up and then paying 45mil (obviously rightfully) after he got out. Goverment keeps fucking up at our expense.

Good. What about all the other poor bastards?

Wow, this case is particularly egregious as far as wrongful convictions are concerned. The innocent man had an alibi for 2 of the 3 rapes, but the law enforcement officer investigating the case deliberately destroyed that evidence. What kind of evil psychopath do you have to be to knowingly frame an innocent man? That is a terrifying revelation to all men, although probably not so uncommon as we would hope unfortunately. Jobs in law enforcement do tend to attract – and create – some of the worst of the worst.

Something tells me that detective will probably get a promotion after this... 👏👏👏👏
